Venganza is the prequel to Primogénito. Once again this author has pulled out all the stops again to make this read an even better than the last, and just as captivating. I found I just couldn’t put the book down, I read it one sitting and found myself completely and utterly drawn in to what was happening with the characters, this gave us a better insight into Damien and his story, as well as part of Damien & Jenn’s story, but more than that the whole general storyline of all involved was just as captivating in this read than in Primogénito.
This book was thrilling, suspenseful, dark, mysterious, emotional, heart-breaking and shocking.
This book was filled with twists and turns that you never expected, that left you on the edge of your seat, wanting to know what was going to happen, but it also left you reeling after what you were reading.
This was an incredibly gripping, mysterious and suspenseful read that I’m glad I got the chance to experience and will look forward to seeing what else this author can bring.
Venganza: The Fuentes Legacy is the prequel to Primogenito. It can be read as a standalone.
This book was…intense, dark, fearsomely twisted, and kept up a pretty good pace. I read the whole thing in one day because I had to find out how it ended. After I finished it, I realized that this is probably one of those books that would be really great to read on a dark and stormy night. It’ll get to you on so many levels.
The author has worked paranormal elements into the story in such a way that it is very believable. It is a creative tale, and well written.
One thing I will say is that this book is not for anyone who is triggered by violence. There are some very brutal moments that may be difficult for some people to read. I would definitely say this book is not for anyone under the age of 18.
Venganza: The Fuentes Legacy
By Greta Cribbs
I was hooked as soon as I started reading this story.This book is definitely full of emotions, drama, secrets, action, and love. This is Damian and Jenn’s story and a very intriguing one. This book is a prequel to Primogenito and I really enjoyed reading that one so I was very excited when I got my hands on this one. The author does an exceptional job bringing you into the story with her attention to detail and wonderful storytelling. There are definitely some dark intense moments in this book. I don’t want to give anything away so I will just say this book is intense and has some plot twists and wonderful characters. I highly recommend this book.
Venganza: The Fuentes Legacy by Greta Cribbs is definitely an interesting story. One that I am not sure how I feel about it. On one hand it is a quick and compelling read, but on the other hand I was sickened by the heart wrenching turn of events but it is like watching a train wreck, you cannot stop looking. It is a very, very, emotional read and I felt all of the pain and suffering, betrayal and loss that the main character felt. Greta is good at writing very detailed scenes that you can visualise so easily and sometimes get lost in that detail. There is a lot of very, very, dark and graphic scenes to this story that many may be uncomfortable with. The Fuentes Legacy is nothing to be proud of and the dark secrets and lies they keep are atrocious and I found myself wanting to do some serious harm to them. There is lots of drama and suspense, horror and pain, guilt and suffering in this dark tale will go straight to your heart and emotions. So if you like dark and twisted stories then this is story that you will like.
Venganza: The Fuentes Legacy by Greta Cribbs was a dark twisted tale, that had me not only hooked but it had me shielding my eyes and holding my breath.
My first read by this author, and I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. This is a prequel novel, so I do suggest (even if I didn’t) reading that first book. It probably would have cleared somethings up for me, but in all, even without reading the first book, I didn’t feel like anything was confusing.
Wow, if I could I leave my read as just that I would, but I’m not in that business, so let me elaborate, shall we.
Told with a sinister tone and gritty scenes, I was pulled into this pretty much instantly. Rich with darkness and graphic scenes, I had to look away like I was watching a horror movie. For to have such things done by one’s own family, horrendous and pure nightmare fuel. The story itself has a nice steady flow, with intertwined ribbons of darkness, creating a tension that stays with the story as you read and become more immersed. I have to say I don’t think I have read anything like this book, and I want more.
As this is a prequel to the main series, I’m going to leave my review here as anything will spoil this haunting tale. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you’ll not only be captured by this unique original horror, but you’ll be left wanting much, much, more.
Happy Reading

Venganza: The Fuentes Legacy written by Greta Cribbs. I read book one : Primogenito last year and I’ve been waiting for Venganza. This is about the Fuentes family, with all their secrets. There is a lot going on in this book but it makes it so great, and I don’t mean a lot in the way your thinking, the Fuentes family has done a lot, have a lot of secrets and it seems like they are all coming out. Venganza is Damian and Jenn’s love story with a twist it also tells more in depth about Damian’s kidnapping and torture. Will true love win over the darkness that is the Fuentes family when someone tries to leave it.
The story will suck you from the moment you get past chapter one, the characters you have a love/ hate relationship with. They make the story unique so you love them for that but you have what they have done and who they are.

4 Stars!!!!
I have to admit that it was nice to get to read Damian’s story and the prequel to Premogenito. I like how the author is able to spin the tale and bring the characters to life. This book definitely didn’t disappoint.
I found that the drama in the book added so much. To see how Damian and Jenn got together and how Damian’s grandfathers acts shape his life and future. I found the book really grabbed me and kept me at the edge of my seat. To see how the legacy affects the family and how Damian’s father’s actions in trying to leave the family had put all the wheels in motion. I most certainly will be reading more from this author in the future.
I give Venganza: The Fuentes Legacy by Greta Cribb, 5 stars.
*This review may contain spoilers of other books in this series.*
Leo tried to hide his son from his father and uncle. They will do anything to find him. And once they do — well he doesn’t even want imagine it. But it looks like he failed. Now they have him. Can he rescue Damian in time? What damage will they do to Damian?
This a very, very dark story. If you are a sensitive reader, you probably want to skip this book. It is the story of Damian — of what happens to him at the hands of the elder men in his family. It is also the story of recovery. Damian experiences something very traumatic, both physically and mentally. He struggles a whole lot afterwards. But this doesn’t just affect him, it affect his friends and fiance. The characters are very real. The story put you right there. You can understand what each person is going thru.
While it in an intense read, it will help you understand Damian more if you have already read other books in the series.
Greta Cribbs is a mastermind. Venganza has become one of my favorite books. The tone for this story is a dark thriller. Greta Cribbs does put a warning with this story. I would take it seriously as there are twists and turns around every corner. This story has elements that can shake a person right down to the foundation of their beliefs. Greta Cribbs has created characters that are fully developed and they are on a mission. This story is the prequel to Primogenito. That story tells the fate of Damian at the hands of his grandfather and uncles. Leo is Damian’s father. Renato is Damian’s grandfather who is punishing his father, Leo for leaving his family. If you are wanting a great thriller this is the book for you.
I read Primogénito first and was pretty confused by it. I finally got the prequel I desperately needed! This book shed so much light on everything that happens in Primogénito that I may actually read that one again.
Fans of Stephen King will enjoy these book just for the sheer creepiness of the Fuentes family. It almost would be less terrifying if these books were set in a fantasy world.
Damian’s father, Leo, is the first to try an escape the life of ritual and torture that has been his family’s legacy for centuries. Renato will not tolerate this act of betrayal by his son and kidnaps his grandson to continue the family traditions. Damian suffers more than any child should have to bear for the sins Renato says Leo has committed. Jenn is Damian saving grace and even though I’m doing my absolute best to distance what I know about Primogénito so I don’t spoil anything, I still think Jenn is the only one with even a shred of common sense even though she loves a man who has gone through worse than Hell and will carry it with him forever.
If you like King levels of dark and twisted, read this first and then Primogénito.

Venganza: The Fuentes Legacy by Greta Cribbs is the prequel to Primogénito and tells Damian’s story. It is a compelling, quick and easy read. There is suspense, drama and intrigue- with were gut-wrenching and heart breaking moments that kept me glued to the pages. I couldn’t look them away because I really needed to know what happened. I devoured it in one sitting!
Ms. Cribbs really did a fantastic job with this story. The plot had so much happening in it- but she coordinated it all into an exciting and captivating read. She has such a great eye for detail and a fabulous imagination.
I really don’t want to say too much more, because I don’t want to give away any spoilers. I recommend reading all the captivating details for yourself.
Thank you, Ms. Cribbs!
Venganza: The Fuentes Legacy by Greta Cribbs is a story that goes back before Primogenito and gives you more of an understanding of the characters and story. This book drew me in from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down.
The Fuentes family has secrets. They’ll do what they need to keep those secrets. Not all secrets are easily kept and Damian is proof of that. Due to certain events in his life, Damian feels that his father abandoned him. Whether that’s exactly what happened or not, it’s hard for those feelings not to show up in Damian’s daily life. Will the events Damian experiences interfere with his relationship or does Damian have a bond that can’t be broken with Jenn?
This book and these characters were written with such detail that it feels like you are right there with them. The book was definitely suspenseful and had some scenes that may be difficult for younger readers. This was such a good book to read!

This is the prequel to Primogenito and it is a haunting and intense story. The Fuentes family has been entangled with black magic and has been committing evil acts for centuries. Leo wants nothing to do with the family legacy and has been trying to protect his son Damian for years. Unfortunately good intentions pave the way to hell and one fateful night Damian ended up in his own private hell. It was violent, malicious and degrading. His family didn’t only injure him physically, they crushed his soul. It will take Damian a long time to piece himself together again.
This book is definitely not for the faint of heart and can be a trigger for some people. It was so detailed and well written that I felt like I experienced everything as well. There were moments where I needed to step back and breathe. The book shows the aftermath of what a victim goes through. It enlightens you to all they need to overcome mentally in the road to healing. It doesn’t only affect them but the ones they love as well.
The author did an excellent job explaining Damian’s story in this book. It is a good lead into Primogenito and Damian’s reluctance into returning to Asheville.
Wow… I’m a bit of a mixed bag of emotions on this one. I read Primogenito, the first book in The Fuentes Legacy series, a year ago, and I really wish I had gone back and reread that one prior to starting this one again. One of the things that I get a bit mixed on with Greta Cribbs’s writing is that it’s extremely detailed. This is both a positive and a negative for me with her. I enjoy the scenery and character building. It makes me feel as if I am there with the characters and experiencing everything firsthand. It is also frustrating to read at times. I find myself having to go back or stop and rethink things and make sure I have my facts straight because it is super easy to get confused with her storylines. The writing is spectacular though and I enjoy the way the story has built so I have to see what comes next in the series. I do hope that we get a bit less detailed. I find it hard to give much away as far as the plot without spoiling too much so for the details you will have to read them yourself. I can say if you like twisty plots, adventure, deep dark secrets, and graphic and dark scenes then this is right up your alley.

5 Stars
I was so so so excited when I found this book, I read Primogenito quite a while back and of course loved it as with any book by this author and when I found this one and then realized it was the prequel I was even more thrilled. To write a story that goes back before the brilliance of Primogenito and getting to know these people a little more and understanding how this story started was genius. This author continues to amaze me and I absolutely can not say enough about how much I love her stories and how she forms the storylines.
This one was nothing short of heart breaking and I held my breath a few times and felt some deep rooted anger that had me wanting to crawl into my kindle and show a few people what they could do with their protected secrets!! The emotions that were portrayed in this story made them feel so so real because they weren’t just written they were formed with the greatest care and I felt as close to understanding how these people were feeling as I possibly could.
I just don’t know how to put in words my love for this author’s writing, even if some of the things she writes are so very hard to read she does it in a way that you can tell she thought about her readers as she wrote her words.
I HIGHLY recommend this and every book this author has, I became a forever fan after the first book I read by her and that continues to be the case.
Amazingly Awesome!!

5 out of 5 stars
The story Venganza: The Fuentes Legacy by Greta Cribbs is a thrilling book that I enjoyed reading. It had me turning pages to find out what was going to happen next. It is a story that drew me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until I had read the final page. It is a story about a family’s legacy and the love that two people have for each other. The Fuentes family is one that has secrets. Magic and a legacy that they are willing to kill to protect. Leo Fuentes left the family and does everything in his power to make sure that his father never finds his son, Damian. Even with his best efforts Damian is found, kidnapped and tortured. Leo is a father that feels guilt for not being able to be a part of his son’s life and now that pain is further compounded by what has happened to Damian. Damian is a man that has feelings of abandonment by his father. He has a wonderful relationship with the one he loves, Jenn. Will his kidnapping and the aftermath change that relationship, or will Damian’s and Jenn’s bond prove to be unshakeable? Read this story to see what happens when Damian is kidnapped and how it all turns out for him and Jenn. This story is a prequel. It gives a look into the raw emotions that the characters of Damian and Jenn feel. You can’t help but be moved by what they go through. They are two characters that I loved in the story before this one and this prequel made me love them even more. The way that the story is written I felt like I was right there with the characters. There were times that were suspenseful, and I had to remind myself to breathe. You also get to read about how Leo Fuentes feels about his son and his family. There are additional characters that are introduced in the story and I enjoyed reading about the part that they play and their interactions with Damian and Jenn. There are scenes in this story that are very intense and others that warmed my heart. This is a story that I would recommend reading.
This story is part of The Fuentes Legacy series, it is my favorite yet. I enjoy how this author is able to pull me into her story with ease and hold my attention to the end. This is Damien and Jenn’s story plus we find out what happens when you leave the family. Their love is strong and they are determined to stay together and let nothing stand in their way. I highly suggest reading their story and the twist and turns that left me turning pages, you don’t want to miss this.
